That old line, "I've never wished any man dead, but I've read some obituaries with great pleasure," comes to mind because I am a terrible, awful person._________________Scire aliquid laus est, pudor est non discere velle
"It is laudable to know something, it is disgraceful to not want to learn"
~Seneca

So I'm getting wasted tonight.
On a slightly more political note:
'When Margaret Thatcher was asked about her greatest achievement, she promptly answered: "New Labour." And she was right: her triumph was that even her political enemies adopted her basic economic policies.' - Žižek.

A comrade of mine also had this to say:
"As someone who was politicised in the struggles against the horrendous Thatcher government in the 1980s, I don't feel comfortable with the 'witch' analogies tonight - unfortunately lots of 'Thatchers' since then, mainly men: Blair, Clinton, Hawke, Keating etc"_________________A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want? ~Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Annette Funicello_________________The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
